			INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS 
                 ON MUSIC AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE


                       University of Edinburgh

                         15-17 September 1995


THE ICMAI95

The International Congress in Music and AI will be held in Edinburgh, 
Scotland. The conference is organised by the Faculty of Music and the 
Department of AI at Edinburgh University.

Its main objective is to foster investigation of theories of music and
musical thought, and their relation to computation and AI systems. The 
link between these two approaches - which has not received great attention
until now - is the main topic to be addressed. The aim is to stimulate the
exchange of ideas on the possibilities of extending or formulating new
(computational) theories of musical knowledge and cognition that may be
used to represent and manipulate musical structures and processes. Such
theories may provide useful insights into compositional, analytic and
educational aspects of musical practice.

Researchers from any relevant discipline are invited to submit papers 
relating to one of the three areas presented below. The presentations of
papers will be followed by extended discussions.

The conference is supported by the IEEE CS Technical Committee on Computer
Generated Music.

MAIN AREAS OF INTEREST

- Musical Formalisms
- Cognitive Models of Music
- Intelligent Musical Tools

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

- Clarence Barlow
- Stephen McAdams
- Robert Rowe
